lg nexus 4

The anticipated next Android update is now official, but Android 4.4.3 won't be the exciting next version that you might have been hoping for. Nonetheless, binaries and factory images bearing the new Android version are now up for the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 10, and some versions of the Nexus 7.

The inevitable has happened and now even the 16GB model of the Nexus 4 has gone out of stock and Google is said to have no plans to resupply. This marks the end of Google's current reference Android smartphone and perhaps the sign of a new one on its way.

Last week Google shocked everyone by dropping the price on the already affordable and awesome LG Nexus 4 smartphone by $100. Making it an instant buy and one of the best deals for a smartphone around. Well, it certainly didn't last long because a quick trip to the Play Store shows Google's all out of the 8GB version already.

Yesterday Google shocked many of us by dropping the price on the already affordable LG Nexus 4 smartphone by $100. Now you can get that impressive 4.7-inch quad-core powered Android 4.3 Jelly Bean flavored smartphone for only $200, or $249 off-contract. It's a stunning deal, and now they'll even give you a refund if you bought the device within the past few weeks.

Lowering the price of older devices is nothing extraordinary. But when it is done in the sight of a public that is eagerly anticipating a newer model, the Internet is set ablaze. Such is the case of the Nexus 4 whose price tag has just been slashed by $100.

Back at the end of May Google finally unveiled and released the rumored White LG Nexus 4 to the Google Play Store. Giving users an option other than the plain black we've been enjoying since last October. Sadly a new version of Android didn't come with it, but a white bumper case did. However, today both the 8 and 16GB White Nexus 4's are no longer available for sale.

T-Mobile announced the immediate availability of the White Nexus 4 earlier this morning and it looks like the handset has also arrived in the Google Play Store. The Play Store listing has the handset available in an 8GB and 16GB model and they are priced at $299 and $349 respectively. Or perhaps more important for those who have already made up their minds and are ready to move forward with a purchase -- they are shown as being in stock and shipping in 1 to 2 business days.

Putting an end to what seemed to have become an endless stream of rumors and leaks, LG announced the white Nexus 4 earlier in the week. The global rollout was expected to take several weeks, however it looks like the handset has since come available for those in the US market. T-Mobile has announced the immediate availability, though they have made it clear this handset will only be available for a limited time.

The waters are starting to get a little murky regarding Google's plans for the next true Nexus. We're not talking HTC One or GALAXY S 4 'Google Editions' but a true Nexus smartphone. Obviously they are hard at work with Motorola on the X, as confirmed last night, and even today confirmed the Nexus program is still fully under way. So what will we see next, and will it be the LG Nexus 5?

After countless leaks and speculation the folks from Google and LG finally made the white LG Nexus 4 official. It's the same Nexus we know and love, with a nice new paint job. After plenty of talk at Google I/O about a white model with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean getting announced we were excited, but it's still just on 4.2.2, for now at least. Read on for more details and a quick unboxing with Google's other baby. That being Google Glass.
